Usage

URL
---

To match GET parameters:

::

  url: '/mock/send/action?*',

Issues
======

`Keep the mocking data object intact`_
--------------------------------------

**NOTE** If making multiple requests to the same mock object with different
data, then Mockjax will not find a match.  To solve this issue, create separate
mock objects for each combination of URL and data.

Timeout
-------

To stop the 30 second timeout when a URL doesn't match:
